After some months of work, the program has already produced many interesting results, such as: identification of activities that prevent NUF concept; proposals to optimize functions onboard; more reliable...

... Abstract Over the past few years, many communications were made by robot manufacturers showing inspection robot prototypes on production sites. As the first autonomous and explosion proof inspection robots become commercial, and even if oil & gas operators are more and more interested, many...

...), drones, and robotics in the oil and gas industry. These technologies can unlock tremendous value in oilfield operations. The objective of this study is to examine methods through which this value will be brought to the industry and analyze the impact of these technologies in enabling Industrial...

...), and gas-sensing through devices mounted on autonomous robots or drones, possibly mixed with stand-alone fixed devices. This "mobile sensor" approach is ideal for existing infrastructure where adding enhanced sensing capabilities with an IoT solution is cost prohibitive. It is flexible: if a site...

... shift. Digital technologies and robotics have helped operators to considerably lower Person on Board (POB) count on existing attended facilities. This reduced operating expenses (OPEX). Due to minimal operators presence, these facilities require smaller hotel facilities and safety escape devices...

... temperature is close to the hydrate formation temperature (HFT) and the wax appearance temperature (WAT). Water droplets coat the dry particles and become a part of the particles absorbing free water in the flow. In addition to the seeding mechanism, a robot operated induction coil removes inner pipe wall...
